Cardoons, goat cheese, salt and turnips

I am proud to announce that the February edition of UrbanEpicurean was issued right on time! I had a lot of fun this month, got a chance to connect with the owner Capriole Goat Cheese, an artisinal cheesemaker who's appeared in all the big foodie rags; studied food as depicted in art, from the ascetic tables of Cotan to the scrumptious feasts of the Dutch; learned all sorts of new stuff about salt (who knew Kosher salt wasn't Kosher!); and paid homage to my favorite veg-o-February, the modest, unassuming turnip. It's been a ton of work, but a whole lot of fun! :) Please check it out if you get a chance, and let me know what you think!

Back Home!!!

Welcome to Chicago Michelle, here's some -20F wind chills for you!!! LOL...Still it hardly matters, after close to three weeks away. I must say I had a fantastic time, but I doubt I will ever take such a long vacation again unless I'm going somewhere half-way around the world. For starters I missed my babies way too much. Speaking of which, I know I've said this many times already but you have no idea how much I appreciate all your help. As you know I don't believe in cat-sitters and the fact that the "girls" have people who truly love them to keep an eye on them means the world to me. Anyway, I look forward to taking you out to dinner once we can coordinate our busy schedules. Maybe I should have my people call your people? :-)

Puzzle done!!!

The 5,000 piece puzzle that I bought and regretted that I bought it is finally done!! I have no pictures yet, but will post them soon.

Cats are fine!

Anais and Sarina are doing well, came out and socialized all day today. Anais took her meds no problem. No coughing.
